offsite link Deliberate Design Flaw In ChatGPT-5 Sun Aug 17, 2025 08:04 | Mind Agent
Socratic Dialog Between ChatGPT-5 and Mind Agent Reveals Fatal and Deliberate 'Design by Construction' Flaw
This design flaw in ChatGPT-5's default epistemic mode subverts what the much touted ChatGPT-5 can do... so long as the flaw is not tickled, any usage should be fine---The epistemological question is: how would anyone in the public, includes you reading this (since no one is all knowing), in an unfamiliar domain know whether or not the flaw has been tickled when seeking information or understanding of a domain without prior knowledge of that domain???!

This analysis is a pretty unique and significant contribution to the space of empirical evaluation of LLMs that exist in AI public world... at least thus far, as far as I am aware! For what it's worth--as if anyone in the ChatGPT universe cares as they pile up on using the "PhD level scholar in your pocket".

According to GPT-5, and according to my tests, this flaw exists in all LLMs... What is revealing is the deduction GPT-5 made: Why ?design choice? starts looking like ?deliberate flaw?.

People are paying $200 a month to not just ChatGPT, but all major LLMs have similar Pro pricing! I bet they, like the normal user of free ChatGPT, stay in LLM's default mode where the flaw manifests itself. As it did in this evaluation.

offsite link AI Reach: Gemini Reasoning Question of God Sat Aug 02, 2025 20:00 | Mind Agent
Evaluating Semantic Reasoning Capability of AI Chatbot on Ontologically Deep Abstract (bias neutral) Thought
I have been evaluating AI Chatbot agents for their epistemic limits over the past two months, and have tested all major AI Agents, ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, Perplexity, and DeepSeek, for their epistemic limits and their negative impact as information gate-keepers.... Today I decided to test for how AI could be the boon for humanity in other positive areas, such as in completely abstract realms, such as metaphysical thought. Meaning, I wanted to test the LLMs for Positives beyond what most researchers benchmark these for, or have expressed in the approx. 2500 Turing tests in Humanity?s Last Exam.. And I chose as my first candidate, Google DeepMind's Gemini as I had not evaluated it before on anything.

offsite link Israeli Human Rights Group B'Tselem finally Admits It is Genocide releasing Our Genocide report Fri Aug 01, 2025 23:54 | 1 of indy
We have all known it for over 2 years that it is a genocide in Gaza
Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has finally admitted what everyone else outside Israel has known for two years is that the Israeli state is carrying out a genocide in Gaza

Western governments like the USA are complicit in it as they have been supplying the huge bombs and missiles used by Israel and dropped on innocent civilians in Gaza. One phone call from the USA regime could have ended it at any point. However many other countries are complicity with their tacit approval and neighboring Arab countries have been pretty spinless too in their support

With the release of this report titled: Our Genocide -there is a good chance this will make it okay for more people within Israel itself to speak out and do something about it despite the fact that many there are actually in support of the Gaza

offsite link China?s CITY WIDE CASH SEIZURES Begin ? ATMs Frozen, Digital Yuan FORCED Overnight Wed Jul 30, 2025 21:40 | 1 of indy
This story is unverified but it is very instructive of what will happen when cash is removed
THIS STORY IS UNVERIFIED BUT PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO OR READ THE TRANSCRIPT AS IT GIVES AN VERY GOOD IDEA OF WHAT A CASHLESS SOCIETY WILL LOOK LIKE. And it ain't pretty

A single video report has come out of China claiming China's biggest cities are now cashless, not by choice, but by force. The report goes on to claim ATMs have gone dark, vaults are being emptied. And overnight (July 20 into 21), the digital yuan is the only currency allowed.

Independent protest in solidarity with republican prisoners in maghaberry.

PRISONER SOLIDARITY GROUP-CORK CITY

SUPPORT REPUBLICAN PRISONERS RESISTING BRITISH TORTURE

PROTEST AT DAUNT SQ CORK CITY JAN 21ST @3PM

The Prisoner Solidarity Group is an independent group of activists in cork city formed to organise protests in solidarity with ALL republican prisoners and to encourage untiy among republicans and the left but especially to highlight the ongoing struggle in Maghaberry prison. As a group we oppose internement by section 30 in the 26 counties, or internment by remand in the occupied 6 counties,and we call for the repatriation of any republican prisoners held overseas.Due to the worsening situation in Maghaberry prison we decided to put together an independent group as we feel the best way forward for all concerned is a united independent campaign to call for the implementation of the 12th of august agreement which was brokered in 2010 but has yet to be implemeted by the Northern Ireland Prison service (NIPS).

Since the closure of the notorious H-Blocks, Maghaberry prison has become the destination of republicans who have been interned,'held on remand' or imprisoned as a result of their opposition to the british presence in Ireland.Maghaberry,Antrim, synonomous with beatings and torture, is now the scene of a looming crisis which could see an escalation from dirty protest to hunger strike by republican prisoners.,The dirty protest as it stands has been going on now for over six months,some have chosen to empty waste under the cell door out onto the landings while others are smearing their waste on their cell walls.

We call on all revolutionaries,trade unionists,republicans, dissidents,socialists,anarchists and humanitarians to stand as one in solidarity with those who uphold the integrity of their struggle by refusing to be criminalised by the british state.

A public protest will take place on jan 21st @ daunt square cork city at 3pm.

Keep yourself informed of whats going on: http://irishfreedomcommittee.net/POWs/IPOWS_LIST.htm

A successful protest took place in cork city today to highlight the plight of Republican Prisoners
in Maghaberry who are suffering torture at the hands of a prison run riot squad.The ongoing dirty protest is nearly seven months long,with no end in sight.
The central issues are controlled movement and strip searching, but there is also the wider issue of Selective Internment.
Today a wide range of groups and individuals came together both young and old ,up to 30 Comrades from Éirígí,32CSM,IRSP,RSF,WSM,Independent Republicans,Independent Anarchists,Gay rights/anti Fascist activist,Ex-prisoners,and even a veteran of the border campaign!
Many leaflets were handed out and there was quite a lot of interest from members of the public.
Thanks to all who attended.Todays message was one of unity for the prisoners!
Beir bua!

kudos to all who took part in this

Good to see lots of diverse groups uniting on an issue based protest. There has been too many divisions in the past. Its time we began standing together like this more often on issues of common interest and started resisting infighting often deliberately triggered by sectarians.

Good job. This is the way forward. Unity in the face of those who would destroy our society in the coming years. I'm talking about FG, FF, labour and their corporate oil and gas , state asset privatisation and 1% financial sytem friends in europe, UK and the US here.

solidarity to Marian price and all the other maghberry prisoners.
